Sewing Circle with Michelle Hartney
Fri, Mar 10, 5:30–7:30pm RSVP required

In 1928, Margaret Sanger received letters from mothers asking for help to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Led by Hartney, this sewing circle sews select letters from Sanger’s collection Motherhood in Bondage.

March 10th marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Dr. David Gunn, the first obstetrician who was murdered by an anti-abortion protestor.  Dr Gunn traveled thousands of miles each month to provide abortions to underserved communities in the south.  His daughter Wendy volunteered to hand write one of the letters that will be sewn during this event, and when the piece is completed it will be dedicated to Dr. Gunn.

The artist will supply kits during the sewing circle. All events are a safe space for community dialog around reproductive rights. More info here
